Metro bus driver Ronald Combs received the Safe Driver Award of Honor from the National Safety Council. The Fairfax resident is retiring from Metro after 32 years, while holding its highest internal safety record.

All Award of Honor winners must have met the criteria of not having a preventable incident within the past 15 years or the last 250,000 miles of driving. Combs was inducted into the National Safety Council's "Two Million Mile Club" in 2012 for driving two million miles each without an accident.

Founded in 1913 and chartered by Congress, the National Safety Council, nsc.org, is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to save lives by preventing injuries and deaths at work, in homes and communities, and on the road through leadership, research, education and advocacy. NSC advances this mission by partnering with businesses, government agencies, elected officials and the public in areas where we can make the most impact – distracted driving, teen driving, workplace safety, prescription drug overdoses and Safe Communities.
